Here is a review of the J.E.S.U.S. acronym!

J – Joyful

E – Exciting

S – Safe

U – Understading

S – Son of God

In this lesson we look and see in scriptures how Jesus UNDERSTANDS us. He understands us because He made us AND He is human. He went through and felt the things we have and will, so He understands everything we could possibly bring to Him. When we grasp that, it is so much easier to come to Him knowing we will be understood!

Here are some verses in the Bible about how and why Jesus understands us.

“So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.” John 1:14

“Then Jesus wept.” John 11:35

“Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.” John 4:6

“This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.” Hebrews 4:15

What a gift that we serve and love a God that knows us, understands us and wants to be with us.

I pray for understanding for your littles as you teach them this lesson!
